Her full name is Ann Kirsten Kennis and she used to be a sought-after model in the 80s and early 90s. (An amazingly dated portfolio of her work can be seen at Vanity Fair's site.)

Filmmaker Jim Jarmusch Talks ATP
From pitchfork.com at 20/08/10 12:45 PM. 0 comments.
In films like Stranger Than Paradise, Dead Man, and Ghost Dog, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch created a series of surreal, deadpan worlds that bear only passing similarities to our own. Along the way, he's collaborated with a murderer's row of musical visionaries: Joe Strummer, Tom Waits, Neil Young, RZA, GZA, Iggy Pop, the White Stripes.
So it's fitting that the folks at All Tomorrow's Parties have recruited Jarmusch to curate one day of ATP New York, which comes to Kutsher's Country Club in Monticello, New York September 3-5. Jarmusch's day has a line-up that runs from indie rock and punk (Girls, Fucked Up, Kurt Vile, Vivian Girls) to drone-metal (Sunn O))) and Boris) to hip-hop (Raekwon, GZA, DJ Kool Herc), to psych (Dungen, Wooden Shjips, the Black Angels). Bands playing the other two days of the fest include Sonic Youth, Iggy and the Stooges, Sleep, the Breeders, Fuck Buttons, Shellac, Tortoise, Explosions in the Sky, the Books, and Avi Buffalo.
Pitchfork recently spoke with Jarmusch about music, his ATP experience, his relationship with RZA, and his future projects, including a documentary about the Stooges.

Music Weekly: Alex Da Kid and Holly Miranda
From www.guardian.co.uk at 20/08/10 09:13 AM. 0 comments.
This week's Music Weekly begins with the man behind two of the biggest No 1 singles this year; producer Alex Da Kid. The former Thames Valley University student is currently studio-bound in Los Angeles, but he found time to discuss his role in Eminem's Love the Way You Lie and B.O.B's Aeroplanes with our new intrepid reporter, Ben Beaumont-Thomas.
In Singles Club, Rosie Swash (still in charge while Alexis suns himself in, er, Northumbria) is joined by Ben and Tim Jonze to discuss Michael Jackson sampling in How to Dress Well's Ecstasy With Jojo, Tricky's dancehall-sampling Murder Weapon, and Egyptian Hip-Hop's non-sampling Moon Crooner.
And finally, Rebecca Nicholson chats to Brooklynite Holly Miranda about working with Dave Sitek and how her pentecostal upbringing helped shape her sound. Hope you enjoy this week's show, next week is a Notting Hill Carnival special. In the meantime, come and say hi on Twitter and Facebook.
